H, In IOS - How do I open the Contacts APP (In need in my test to add new contact to the Contact Address book)

I found that the Capability “bundleId” of Contacts APP is “com.apple.MobileAddressBook”

What is the Capability for “APP” ? (Contacts app path) i try to write :

capsContact.set"APP", “Contacts”);

but i get an error message : App paths need to be absolute, or relative to the appium server install dir,

Thanks !
